I'm not a religious woman, <br />but I know how to love my sister <br /> <br />Don't want you to have to go to Jesus <br />Want you to build an altar on my soul and <br />Lay your burdens down <br />My sister in xstacy <br /> <br />With sister fellowship I will help bear your cross <br />With a little help from our sisters <br /> <br />I'm not a religious woman <br />My mouth is too full of soul healing tales to chant <br />Nam myoho renge kyo <br />Into the mirrored belly of Buddha <br /> <br />For, when I see your face <br />Distorted with pain... <br />I have seen my reflection! <br /> <br />When I nurse the wounds your lover leaves <br />Across your heart, <br />Your body, your Face, <br />I have healed my own wounds <br /> <br />And when you cry alone at night <br />Thinking no one hears <br />believing Man's God <br />Has turned a deaf ear to the Sisters <br /> <br />I am hoarse in the morning <br />too hoarse, my sister, to wait for God <br /> <br />I wail for you, <br />I wail for you, my sister <br />and our unified voices <br />send those demons straight back <br />to hell for you, my sister <br />to hell for you, my sister <br /> <br />Jessica Holter<br /><br />Jessica Holter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-sister-74/
